    I don't have time to write on the other thread, very busy today and getting ready to go in service. Read the thread to get a feel for what to do. You already set a goal for by your wedding so tell the little group. It is only 4 or 5 of us. If you read the thread you will see how it works!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Hi there :)

    That's a very achievable and realistic goal. 30lbs..6 months. That's 5 lbs a month. You can do that. WE can do that!!
    I joined WW a couple of weeks ago and I'm doing really great. Something that stuck with me was a statement one lady uses..
    "Is what I'm doing NOW going to get me to where I want to be".
    I've heard variations of this like..‎"If What you're doing now was enough to get what you want, you'd already have it." - Which, honestly would make me beat myself for being such a failure and lament how things could have been if I'd been better!!! The first one allows you to assert yourself right this minute and make the right decision in the here and now.
    I realised that there is no way I could eat the portions I used to eat and expect to be slim. End of. No point crying into my sausage sandwich! So..I'm not on a diet, I'm just choosing to be slim. There are no cheats, just choices. No falling off the wagon cos I'm driving this wagon!

    You can do it. Every day get a little bit excited about being on the journey to HOTNESS ;)

    YES WE CAN!
